Here are some useful settings in the Display section of the Control Panel that are often overlooked. To access these options, right-click on an empty part of the Windows desktop and select Properties.
Control desktop icons. In the Desktop tab, click on the Customize Desktop button to bring up the Desktop Items dialog. Here you can choose whether to display icons for My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, and Internet Explorer, as well as select which icons will represent them.

To restore the underlines, click on the Effects button in the Appearance tab and uncheck the box titled Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key.
